The sub-theme of ritual practices will arrange two seminars about Deleuzian philosophy and ethnography.
The first seminar will take place 11. December 2013.
The seminar will consist of two presentations: Morten Nielsen from Aarhus University and Knut Christian Myhre from University of Oslo.
These presentations will be followed by a more general and open discussion, for the sake of which seminar participants are expected to acquaint themselves with a few relevant titles beforehand (please see the complete reading list).

1430 – 1500: Coffee break
1500 – 1630: General discussion – Concepts, perspectives, and analysis:
The aim of these seminars is to acquaint ourselves with aspects of Deleuzian philosphy and to explore its potentials in relation to ethnography. In particular, we wish to explore the manners in which Deleuzian philosophy may facilitate and further ethnographic practice, as well as to investigate the possible ways in which ethnography may contribute to concept formation and transformation, and hence philosophical activity, in the Deleuzian sense.
